The new Xbox 360 Slim has been unveiled today by Microsoft during its E3 conference and the least we can say is that the new Xbox looks good in its shiny new coat of glossy black paint !

Xbox 360 Slim comes with a 250GB HDD and built-in Wi-Fi. All Xbox owners will be also amazed to learn that the new one is supposed to be very silent. No more noise than a whisper, as they say ... (I want to hear that first )

We also learned during Microsoft E3 conference that it's shipping to retailers right now!! (and all journalists present at the conference did leave with a console )

The new Xbox 360: Here today, ready for tomorrow with a brand new, leaner machine in an all-new black gloss finish. Wi-Fi is built-in for easier connection to the world of entertainment on Xbox LIVE, where HD movies and TV stream in an instant.

It's ready for the controller-free experiences of Kinect—you don't just play the game, you are the game. And with the huge hard drive you'll have plenty of space to store your favorite games and movies. Xbox 360 is more games, entertainment and fun.

They did use the "whisper quiet" argument during the presentation. It's true that the actual Xbox makes so much noise that I can't help to be sceptical. I'm already installing all my games on the HD in order to lower the volume
